Crazy solid stock. Will hit $10 one far away day.
MAPLETREE Industrial Trust' s DPU down 7.4% for Q1 S$7.1m withheld due to virus
MAPLETREE Industrial Trust' s (MIT) distribution per unit (DPU) stood at 2.87 Singapore cents for the first quarter ended June 30, down from 3.1 cents a year ago.
This is despite distributable income rising 11.6 per cent to S$70.6 million on the back of higher net property income and distributions declared by joint ventures, partially offset by higher manager&rsquo s management fees.
In view of the uncertainty from the Covid-19 pandemic, tax-exempt income (distributions relating to joint ventures) amounting to S$7.1 million, equivalent to DPU of 0.32 Singapore cent, will be withheld. The group said this will provide it with greater flexibility to mitigate the impact of mandated rental reliefs for tenants.
MIT had also withheld tax-exempt income amounting to S$6.6 million in Q4 FY 2020 for the same reason. Had the tax-exempt income distributions been included for Q1 2021, the DPU would have been 3.19 Singapore cents.
The manager estimated that the rental reliefs extended to tenants would amount to about S$20 million, which will affect MIT&rsquo s distributable income for FY2021.
Net property income grew 0.9 per cent to S$78.7 million from a year ago. Gross revenue fell 0.5 per cent to S$99.1 million partly due to the rental rebates extended to tenants as part of the Covid-19 Assistance and Relief Programme.
Property operating expenses decreased 5.6 per cent to S$20.5 million. This was mainly due to lower property maintenance expenses, utilities, and marketing commission, which were partially offset by higher property tax and allowance for doubtful debts.
Share of joint ventures results surged to S$13.7 million from S$4.3 million due to the contribution from Mapletree Rosewood Data Centre Trust, a 50:50 joint venture between MIT and Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd. Mapletree Rosewood Data Centre Trust holds 10 powered shell data centres and an 80 per cent interest in three fully fitted hyperscale data centres in North America.
Average portfolio occupancy for Q1 decreased to 91.1 per cent from 91.5 per cent in the preceding quarter. All property segments recorded lower average occupancy rates.
The average rental rate of the Singapore portfolio fell to S$2.08 per square foot per month (psf/month) in Q1 FY2021 from S$2.11 psf/mth in Q4 FY2020. All property segments except the data centres in Singapore and light industrial buildings registered lower average rental rates due mainly to rental rebates.
During the quarter, MIT raised S$410 million through a private placement that was about 8.2 times covered at the top end of the issue price range of S$2.80 per new unit. Gross proceeds from the private placement and acquisition fees in units will be used to fully fund the proposed acquisition of the remaining 60 per cent interest in the 14 data centres in the US at a purchase consideration of US$210.9 million.
Following the proposed acquisition, MIT&rsquo s data centre segment will comprise 39 per cent of MIT&rsquo s portfolio by assets under management.
As at June 30, the Reit&rsquo s aggregate leverage ratio was 38.8 per cent, slightly higher than 37.6 per cent as at March 31, 2020.
The manager said MIT&rsquo s large and diversified tenant base with low dependence on any single tenant or trade sector will continue to underpin its portfolio resilience. It added that the long leases in MIT&rsquo s data centres in Singapore and North America, as well as build-to-suit projects, will further strengthen the portfolio&rsquo s resilience.
A cumulative distribution of 2.9 Singapore cents per unit for the period of April 1, 2020 to July 1, 2020 will be paid on or around July 28. The cumulative distribution includes an advanced distribution for July 1 (the date immediately prior to the issuance of the new units in the private placement) of 0.03 cent per unit.
Private placement at 2.732sgd

Mapletree Industrial Trust to replace SPH in STI
SINGAPORE - Mapletree Industrial Trust has replaced Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) in the Straits Times Index (STI) after the June quarterly review, FTSE Russell announced on Thursday (June 4).
The STI reserve list, comprising the five highest-ranking non-constituents of the STI by market capitalisation, will be Keppel DC Real estate investment trust (Reit), Suntec Reit, NetLink NBN Trust, Frasers Logistics & Industrial Trust and Keppel Reit.
Stocks on the reserve list will replace any constituents that become ineligible as a result of corporate actions, before the next review.
FTSE Russell has partnered with SPH, publisher of The Straits Times newspaper (ST), and Singapore Exchange (SGX) to jointly calculate Singapore' s main stock market benchmark.
The STI is widely followed by investors as the benchmark for the Singapore market and is used as the basis for a range of financial products including exchange traded funds, warrants, futures and other derivatives.
FTSE Russell is the index administrator.
An SPH spokesman said: " The global economy, including Singapore, has been battered by the Covid-19 pandemic. SPH has not been spared in this challenging business environment.
" However, we have a resilient balance sheet to weather the impact from Covid-19. We will continue to transform the media business with digital innovations and grow our recurring income as well as diversify our revenue streams.
" We also review our existing businesses and investments regularly with a view to recycling capital and enhancing capital management with the aim of delivering sustainable shareholder returns."
All changes from this review take effect from the start of trading on June 22.
The next review will be in September.
The indexes are reviewed quarterly in accordance with the index ground rules and to facilitate the inclusion of eligible initial public offering stocks.
The FTSE ST methodology ensures that the indexes accurately represent the investable universe for benchmarking purposes and can be easily replicated as the basis of index-linked products.

Broker' s take: DBS says Mapletree Industrial Trust becoming ' alternative data centre play'
TUE, APR 28, 2020 - 2:43 PM
DBS Group Research on Tuesday said Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) is fast becoming an alternative data centre play and has ample capacity for strategic acquisitions in the US.
It maintained its " buy" call on the real estate investment trust (Reit) with a target price of S$2.70.
MIT units were up S$0.03 or 1.2 per cent to S$2.47 as at 2.15pm on Tuesday.
It noted MIT&rsquo s manager has proactively offered its tenants a rental relief package, ranging from two weeks to one-and-a-half months of rent - in line with market practice.
Additionally, the manager has turned cautious in the face of an economic recession.
That said, MIT' s asset diversity and contributions from its recently acquired portfolio of 13 US data centres should push distributions higher, DBS added.
Meanwhile, MIT could " surprise on the upside" in terms of net asset value (NAV) and acquisitions in the medium term, DBS opined.
The development of its landbank of older factories like the Kolam Ayer cluster should help to increase the gross floor area of its portfolio and drive medium-term growth in distributions and NAV.
" These should continue to keep valuations at a premium," DBS analysts said.
At the same time, MIT' s low gearing allows for opportunistic acquisitions and developments. Gearing is projected to rise to about 33 per cent in FY2021/2022, which implies the manager may look to restart its dividend reinvestment scheme to pare it down over time, DBS said.
Better-than-expected rental reversions and/or acquisitions would boost MIT' s earnings and share price while potential rising interest rates would be a key risk for the Reit.
However, MIT has minimised the impact of increased interest rates as about 73 per cent of its interest cost is fixed, DBS said.

MIT' s DPU at 2.85 Singapore cents for Q4, down 7.5%
MON, APR 27, 2020 - 10:40 PM
MAPLETREE Industrial Trust&rsquo s (MIT) distribution per unit (DPU) stood at 2.85 Singapore cents for the fourth quarter ended March 31, down 7.5 per cent from 3.08 cents a year ago.
Distributable income rose 15.4 per cent to S$69.15 million, while gross revenue rose 3 per cent to S$101.8 million. Net property income increased 3.2 per cent to S$78.26 million for the fourth quarter.
This comes as the group decided that in view of the uncertainty from the Covid-19 pandemic, tax-exempt income (distributions relating to joint ventures) amounting to S$6.6 million, equivalent to distribution per unit of 0.30 cent, would be withheld in the fourth quarter for MIT and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to have greater flexibility in cash management. Had the tax-exempt income distributions been included, the distribution per unit for Q4 would have been 3.15 cents.
For the full year, MIT&rsquo s DPU ticked up 0.7 per cent to 12.24 Singapore cents.
Meanwhile, gross revenue and net property income for FY19/20 grew 7.9 per cent and 10.5 per cent year on year to S$405.86 million and S$318.07 million respectively. This was primarily attributed to the higher contributions from 18 Tai Seng, 30A Kallang Place, 7 Tai Seng Drive and Mapletree Sunview 1.
Distributable income for FY19/20 rose 14.5 per cent year on year to S$265.34 million. The improved performance was mainly due to higher net property income, interest income and contributions from the newly acquired 13 data centres in North America held under Mapletree Rosewood Data Centre Trust, a 50:50 joint venture between MIT and Mapletree Investments.
Unitholders can expect to receive their quarterly DPU for the Jan 1 to March 31 period on June 4.
In a commentary on its business outlook, MIT&rsquo s trust manager revealed that about 55 per cent of its Singapore portfolio, or 45 per cent of the overall portfolio, are small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) tenants.
If the pandemic drags on, these tenants may seek relief under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, said MIT. This Act provides temporary relief from legal action for a prescribed period of six months, for court or insolvency proceedings or termination of leases of non-residential properties, for businesses or individuals who are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As at March 31, the rental arrears ratio remained stable at 0.2 per cent of the previous 12 months&rsquo gross revenue. However, this ratio will increase if more of these SME tenants seek the temporary relief under the Act, said MIT&rsquo s trust manager.
&ldquo There is no visibility when this pandemic will be over, nor the recovery outlook after it is over. Also, presently it is difficult to reasonably assess the cash flow impact of the Act on MIT,&rdquo said the trust manager.
The manager said that it will be in the interest of the unitholders to prudently withhold the tax-exempt income of S$6.6 million relating to the distributions declared by joint ventures from the Q4 FY19/20 distribution.
As for its assets abroad, all MIT&rsquo s 27 data centres in North America continue operations during this period.
The trust manager maintained that its large, diversified tenant base with low dependence on any single tenant or trade sector will continue to underpin its portfolio resilience.
In addition, the long leases with &ldquo high-quality tenants&rdquo in MIT&rsquo s data centres in Singapore and North America, comprising about 31.6 per cent of the MIT portfolio by assets under management, should contribute to the portfolio resilience, said the trust manager. As at March 31, there were no loans maturing in FY20/21.
The counter closed at S$2.44 on Monday, up six cents, before the results were announced.
